Translation of rod-like template sequences into homochiral assemblies of stacked helical oligomers
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 447 (2017). doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.15 Authors: Quan Gan, Xiang Wang, Brice Kauffmann, Frédéric Rosu, Yann Ferrand & Ivan Huc At the molecular level, translation refers to the production of a new entity according to a template that has a different chemical composition. In this way, chemical information may be translated from one molecule to another. The process is useful to synthesize structures and thus functions that might be difficult to create otherwise, and it reaches exquisite levels of efficiency in biological systems, as illustrated by protein expression from mRNA templates or...

0 –π phase-controllable thermal Josephson junction
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 425 (2017). doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.25 Authors: Antonio Fornieri, Giuliano Timossi, Pauli Virtanen, Paolo Solinas & Francesco Giazotto Two superconductors coupled by a weak link support an equilibrium Josephson electrical current that depends on the phase difference ϕ between the superconducting condensates. Yet, when a temperature gradient is imposed across the junction, the Josephson effect manifests itself through a coherent component of the heat current that flows opposite to the thermal gradient for |ϕ| < π/2 (refs 2–4). The direction of both the Josephson charge and ...
